Sure they looked good against a demoralized Falcons team. Away from ketchup field, they have looked pretty bad to be honest.
And Dalton has been finding ways to win, which is big.
I don't expect it this week.
Pittsburgh is playing really well. Their running game is amazing and they have 3 really good receivers. Their TE is not Eifert, but he's a money receiver and blocker. Their defense puts a LOT of pressure on the QB, giving very little time for receivers to get open.
- If Ross plays he'll be limited - so really no point in doing it, and the coaches need to not let him convince them he's ready to play.
- Eifert is gone and we have two good receivers. Period. Uzomah is decent and so is Schreck (if they play him).
- Both tackles are playing very poor football, and the OL interior is inconsistent
- Brown is playing hurt, Burfict did not look good against Miami and will take a couple more games to return to his stellar form
- Billings is constantly washed out of the gap where the running back is going
- We've had a terrible time stopping the run and covering in the middle
We could win this game no doubt. And this team is mentally tougher than they've been in a while - especially Dalton
But the odds are against it.
However if we get everyone healthy and we continue to grow as a team, we could very well go into Heinz field and take them down.
But it certainly would not take a miracle for us to win this game. I am truly psyched to watch it!
